The body of Eva Rausing, a member of the family behind the Tetra-Pak drink cartons empire, was reportedly found in a home in London, according to the BBC.

She was one of the UK's richest women.

A 49-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the woman's death and on suspicion of possession of drugs, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said. The death is being treated as unexplained.

Mrs Rausing, 48, is the wife of the heir to the £5.4bn Tetra Pak fortune, Hans Kristian Rausing, 49. In 2008 the couple were in trouble with the police over drugs but the prosecution was formally discontinued.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police told Sky News:

"Yesterday (Monday) a 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs.

"Following a subsequent search of an address in Cadogan Place in SW1 a body was found.

"The death is being treated as unexplained and a post-mortem examination began at 1pm today at Westminster mortuary.

"We believe we know the identity of the deceased but we are awaiting confirmation.

"The 49-year-old man was further arrested in connection with the death and is in custody."
